The leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) have directed workers to embark on an indefinite strike from Tuesday, October 3.

This is sequel to a joint press briefing held by both leadership of the unions on Tuesday in Abuja.

Specifically, the unions also asked their state chapters to mobilize for protests across the country.

It was gathered that the leaders of the two labour unions have resolved their differences that made only NLC embark on a two-day warning strike without the participation of TUC.

According to the notice of meeting signed by the NLC Secretary, Emmanuel Ugboaja, the meeting is holding virtually.

In a related development, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalong has appealed to the NLC leadership to shelve the planned strike, assuring them that the Federal Government is determined to address the concerns raised.
